The world is full of wonder and beauty. It is full of people. People who are hurting, people who are full of joy. People who love, and people who need love from others. There is beauty in all people. We are more similar than we are different. Although we are similar, the differences in people should be something that is intriguing and an exciting part of life. Conversation is a very powerful tool in life. What is said has a profound impact on a person, and can plant a seed in another person’s life. Do not downplay what words can do. They have the power to destroy, while also having the power to build up.

As I have been able to travel a bit around the world, it has been a blessing to build relationships with people , and even midst the United States, which is quite diverse in itself. While getting to know people from many places and from many different cultures, it has been eye opening as to what this world needs, and what people are searching for.

People are in need….in need of love.

People are such a blessing, and my eyes have been opened to the world and all that it offers. As I traveled in Costa Rica, I was able to stay in a home where we were not able to talk very much to each other, but we communicated through pictures, and motions. They were so generous and hospitable. Although my group was in a very poor part of Costa Rica, this family did not hold back what they had from me…this American. Although we could not necessarily talk, we were able to bless each other, and I was incredibly blessed even though my group and I were the ones there to serve the people in that community.
